TO unusual advantage. He looked TO perfection
the nOble-hearted tdealist and patriot Ciito The
simple manlneSS and classic repOSe OF his bearing
were admirably in keeping with the spirit OF the
play. In the vehement passages he somehow
reached his climaxes with greater certainty and
tmpaSSiOned grace, preserving the dignity without

The with Heie in the third act was certainly
as fine thing as Mr.. Barrett has SO far given us
and it moved the house deeply In the following
act Mr. BarrettS splendid Self-command and readi-
ness OF resource were cOnspicuously displayed At
the close OF this act Miss EaStlake stirred the
audience by rare Outburst OF passionate force
overwhelming the man she had duped and be-
trayed with a torrent Of scathing contempt. The
1nal act also gave Miss Eastlake opportunity to
display her tragic powers, and this She did with
realism that was almost painful ''ClitO," 1t Is said,

fective TO a degree indeed remarkable even in
this era of scenic art The opening tableau drew
from the house enthusiastic applause and when
called out. Finally Mr.. Barrett made a witty
and felicitOus speech, warmly thanking the audi
ence for their expressions Of approval. Before
closing word should be said in praise Of the
4yOctes OF Mr.. j. II. Clynds whose natural and
was also good as Citias :'CIito" viii be repeated
